Summary

Following City on Fire and City of Dreams, City in Ruins is the explosive conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Don Winslow’s epic, genre-defining crime trilogy and the final book of Winslow's extraordinary career.

Sometimes you have to become what you hate to protect what you love.

Danny Ryan is rich. Beyond his wildest dreams rich.

The former dock worker, Irish mob soldier and fugitive from the law is now a respected businessman – a Las Vegas casino mogul and billionaire silent partner in a group that owns two lavish hotels. Finally, Danny has it all: a beautiful house, a child he adores, a woman he might even fall in love with.

Life is good. But then Danny reaches too far.

When he tries to buy an old hotel on a prime piece of real estate with plans to build his dream resort, he triggers a war against Las Vegas power brokers, a powerful FBI agent bent on revenge and a rival casino owner with dark connections of his own.

Danny thought he had buried his past, but now it reaches up to him from the grave to pull him down. Old enemies surface, and when they come for Danny they vow to take everything – not only his empire, not just his life, but all that he holds dear, including his son.

To save his life and everything he loves, Danny must become the ruthless fighter he once was – and never wanted to be again.

Ranging from the gritty back rooms of Providence, RI to the power corridors of Washington, DC and Wall Street to the golden casinos of Las Vegas, City in Ruins is an epic crime novel of love and hate, ambition and desperation, vengeance and compassion.

Vocal performance elevates it

More of the same from the ‘Danny Ryan and his crew shot a guy, then they went somewhere else and shot another guy’ trilogy.

An entertaining mobsters and murderers series which is not nearly as profound as Winslow thinks it is. The frequent references to Virgil are pretty laughable.

Magnificent

This is a brilliant conclusion to a superb trilogy and a glittering career. Austin Butler is a great choice to play Danny Ryan and I really look forward to the movie.

A modern Shakespeare!

Don Winslow's City trilogy is Epic, from humble beginnings, Danny Ryan moves from foot soldier with the Irish mob in Providence to a mover and shaker in Las Vegas and what a wild ride it is!
Almost biblical in scope, Danny is fiercely loyal to his friends and very forgiving to his enemies until...

Tied up all the ends

Really enjoyed the final installment and conclusion to the trilogy. Final book could have had a quicker pace to build more suspense.

Amazing end to a great trilogy

As with the two previous books, the action is good and fast paced, the characters believable and the story enticing. Great read and good end to the story

Tumultuous story

Fitting last instalment of the City trilogy. Big characters and a full circle story make a fitting end to the series. Excellent reading to give life to Winslow’s words.

Brilliant trilogy

A fitting finish to this brilliantly told story. Winslow has an unrivalled ability to weave a rich, deeply complex web of characters and stories whilst keeping the story moving at pace.
